♬ Writing dare #1!
Thanks to @Milkysplash for the dare! “Write about your characters arguing over something important.”
“We could do that Great Wall of China” Eleanor suggested.
“It's taken” Alanna pointed to the blackboard, which had a list of the taken places. They were about to start a presentation about a historically important place in pairs, and the teacher said that each pair had to present a different place. Eleanor and Alanna were looking for ideas.
“What do you think of the Great Pyramids in Giza?” Alanna asked after checking if the monument was already taken.
“That's boring. I can also build these. They're just piles of yellow colored stones.” Eleanor replied, disagreeing with her.
“No, you can't build them yourself. They are much bigger than you think” she said while searching the pyramids in Google. “See? People look very small when you compare them to the pyramids”
“They're still boring. We should do an interesting place, else no one will like our presentation. We can do the Big Ben. It has a lot of history… We'll find something interesting to explain.”
“I'm sure we can find a better place. The Big Ben isn't that relevant from a historical perspective” Alanna wondered about why would the teacher make her work with Eleanor. Everyone knew that she liked to annoy people, and she hated schoolwork, unlike Alanna, who was always willing to learn new things. “I guess I will have to convince her” she thought.

Write something 300 words story related to snow
A snowman's diary
I was created by two children, a boy and a girl, in a peaceful morning. They wore waterproof clothes, and they were having lots of fun. They played with me, they gave me a scarf and a hat. They talked with me, but I didn't understand their language. They also had a snowball battle and a race, but no one won because they were too tired after the battle. After playing, they left for a while, but soon they came back. Their parents took a lot of pictures of them, and, of course, me. After that, I was left alone, in the snow. I saw lots of different people, wandering in the woods, skiing, playing in the snow, or just enjoying some holidays. I also saw the sunset, it was so beautiful and relaxing. At night, no one was out. It was very cold, but I was made of snow, so I didn't mind. It was windy and some of the snow fell off the trees. Suddenly, I discovered that I could move! I spent the rest of the night learning to walk and control the parts of my body. The sun rose, and I had to stop because of the people. I wasn't sure of how they would treat a walking snowman, so I didn't move during the day. I saw the children who created me in a car with their parents. They waved their hands to say goodbye. I couldn't stop myself, and I waved back. The children were very surprised and happy, and I saw them smile. I wondered if all the snowmen could move. Then, I thought that sadly, I would melt someday, so I had a lot of fun during the nights to make the most of it. Being alive is so fun.

Word war with @TokoWrites! (I couldn't finish the text in 5 minutes so I decided to finish it after stopping the timer, but it doesn't count for the war)
The portal
It was a beautiful day. It was warm and sunny. Tina was typing for a JWC cabin war when her cat suddenly meowed. Tina saw the cat jumping through the open window and quickly went there to see what happened. The cat was outside, in the garden, it was all normal except for one thing: there was a dark portal. Tina ran there, just in time to see the cat's tail disappearing in the darkness. Tina loved her cat, it was her best friend, and she didn't want to lose it, so she went after it. After some seconds, she appeared in a forest. She looked around to find her cat, but she saw a girl. It seemed familiar, even thought she never saw her before.
“Who are you?” she asked.
“I'm Lily, your cat” the girl replied
“But… my cat was a… cat”
“I'm not a cat, I'm a person. I belong to here. One day, I found a dark portal, like the one you just saw. I went through it and I found your house. I remember that day, so today, I knew that the portal would take me back to my world” Lily explained
“Oh, that's interesting, and what is this place? Like another dimension?” Tina was very curious, she loved reading and many of her favourite books had things like that.
“I have no idea… But when I was a child, I used to play in this forest”
“Wow, that's…” she got interrupted by a sound, and when she turned around she saw that the portal had disappeared.
To be continued…

Writing dare #2! (WIP)
Thanks to @phant0m-21 for the dare! “write about a character that falls deeply in love with someone or thing she shouldn't (forbidden love type situation) and what happens!!”
Warning: slight romance!
When I saw him for the first time, I imagined. I imagined having children, a house, a life with him. I saw him leave. Then, my brain went back to my life: I can't choose someone to live with. Here in Thelia couples are decided by the Government. I have never understood this. Why do we have to live with someone we don't like? Why do we have to live with someone we don't even know until the empowered people decide that we have to live together? Why? This isn't love. Our lives are controlled by them. And it isn't fair.
At school, I couldn't stop dreaming. I could rebell against the government. What if I changed the city, or even the country? When I went back home, I made a plan. My city is near the frontier. I could leave this place. But I didn't want to leave that boy. I could escape with him, but how would he react? Would he come with me if I told him? Would he reject me? How can I escape without him? The whole point of escaping would disappear, because why should I escape to live with him if he doesn't come with me?
Would continue but I don't know how to

A thing for cabin wars!
I stepped into the house. The door made a creaking noise. “Hello?” I said to confirm if there was someone in the house. Nobody replied. I looked around. The house seemed abandoned, old and dark, and it was dirty and full of dust. I could see a hallway, two doors and stairs. I decided to explore the house. It seemed like a haunted place. One of the doors led to a dining room, and the other one room was a kitchen. I slowly walked upstairs. Any sound I made sounded much louder than normal. Then, I saw a gas lamp. It was very old, like the rest of the house, but it was lit. “There must be someone here” I thought. I only found one door. I opened it and saw a transparent person. A ghost. The ghost stared at me, and then started to write something on a notebook. A very old and fat notebook. I carefully walked towards it and I saw what it said: "Cabin wars time. You are asleep and you made your cabin lose 250 points"
I suddenly woke up, I grabbed my phone and logged into Scratch. It was Cabin wars time. Phantom sent us a war. And we won it!

Recipe to build a friendship
You need:
- Motivation!!!
- Friends (haha obvious)
- Time
- Patience
Instructions:
1. Find a nice person
2. Say hello and try to start a conversation
3. Learn about them! Ask for their favourite things and tell them about yours.
4. Enjoy your time with them! There will be no friendship if you don't enjoy.
5. Chat with them, make them feel comfortable with you, help them and be patient! Patience is a virtue.
Some extra tips and tricks:
- You can bring them to your house and visit their house if they want
- You should feel good with them, if you don't then this makes no sense!
- Do you share any hobbies? You could go together to the cinema or play chess
- Work with them at school, help them if they need it and ask for help if you need it
Good job! You just made a wonderful friend!
Kind of rushed…

Story:
I suddenly woke up. I had a strange feeling and I looked through the window. I could barely see anything, but I looked carefully. And I noticed something. A humanoid figure that was walking. My heart was racing. A zombie. This couldn't be true. But it was. I quickly went to the kitchen. I grabbed a backpack and I got some food, a knife, and a bottle of water. I heard a cracking noise and went to the living room. It was dark, but I noticed something near the sofa. It was a zombie. They entered the house! I put on my coat and I went to the window. The roof seemed safe for now. I didn't think that the zombies would climb there to get me, so I jumped through the window. I climbed the wall. I quickly got on the garage, from where I climbed to the top. I sat near the chimney and I looked around. I saw some zombies, aimlessly walking here and there. I ate an apple while watching the sunrise. It was beautiful. For a second, I forgot about my situation. I remembered that joke my friend used to show to people: she wrote “situation” on a paper and placed that paper under the “ctrl” key in a keyboard. The situation was under control. I smiled, and I wondered if my friend was still alive. Probably not, there were zombies everywhere. More than before. Wandering, destroying, entering the houses and leaving no one alive. I was lucky. After a while, I decided to find a safe place where I could stay and sleep later. But there was a problem: how do I leave the rooftop? My house wasn't attached to the other ones, so I couldn't jump from one to another one. I decided to run. I jumped. I ran. The zombies saw me and walked towards me, but I was faster than it. I quickly climbed another house. I sat on the roof, panting. I heard a sound behind me. It was a zombie! We were on the terrace. I got my knife and tried to repel it. At last, I threw it to the zombie. The zombie fell backwards. I also fell.
I hit the floor and I screamed. Everything turned dark.
“Hello?”
I opened my eyes. I saw a boy that was staring at me.
“What happened? Who are you?” I tried to get up, but I couldn't move my arm. It hurt a lot.
“You fell. From the roof of the house. Your arm… It isn't broken, but you won't be able to do a lot with it. I tried to heal it, and it's better now. Oh, and I'm Mark and I'm learning medicine”
“I'm Akira. Thanks…”
“No need to thank me, by the way you're the only human I have seen since the zombies came. Have you seen anyone? ”
“No. Nobody else.”
Mark looked through the window and I looked too. Surprisingly, the zombies seemed to have a direction now. They were all going towards a place. It was the church, semi-destroyed now.
“Should we go? ” He asked
“Yes. Maybe we'll discover what happened and why. ” I replied
“But your arm… ”
“I'm better now”
“Ok. Do you have something? Weapons? Food?”
“I had a knife. I threw it to the zombie”
“I have a spare one. You can use it” He was very kind
“Thank you”
He also gave me an apple and we both ate while still staring at the zombies. They were all going to the church. I wondered if we would be able to get there.
“How do we get there? ” I asked
“Don't worry about this. I don't have a helicopter, but I do have a terrace. All the buildings in this road have one. ”
“Nice. Let's hope that there aren't zombies there. ”
“I don't think so”
We got on the terrace, and we started to walk. The zombies didn't seem to notice us because we were on the top of the buildings. After a while we were near the church. We could see the square that is in front of it. And it was full, full of zombies. They were packed like sardines. They formed a moving crowd. It was terrifying.
“Now what?”
“That building. It's just behind the church. We can jump from it… ”
We moved to that place. The church was now just in front of us.
“Jump! Now!”
I ran forward and jumped. I landed on the windowsill and got inside the tower. Mark was behind me. We saw a stone table with an orb on it. A creaking sound told us that zombies had arrived. They opened the door and got inside the room. My heart was racing. Mark punched a zombie, that fell on the floor. I decided to do it. I walked, and I went in front of the orb. And I touched it with both hands. I held it. It was warm and soft but resistant. It went brighter and brighter. Mark turned around and stared at me and the orb. The world shook. The orb turned smaller and dimmer. It ended disappearing. I sighed in relief when I saw that the zombies all turned back into normal people. Mark smiled. I smiled back. We got out of the church, and we saw all the people confused. The citizens were back, and the zombie apocalypse was over.
Wow the longest story I ever wrote :O
